I Simply Fell

I Simply Fell

Abdulaziz, this story’s his
It wasn’t rape he said
I tripped and fell and what the hell
I landed on the bed
I lost an ounce as I bounced and bounced
The bed was all so springy
Though it might seem, I didn’t mean
To land there in her thingy
She was asleep, I’m not a creep
I didn’t even wake her
I simply rose, slipped on my clothes
Then gently I did shake her
The jury heard and took his word
Though farfetched it might be
And don’t you know, they let him go
Not guilty and scot free
The judge that day simply slipped away
Refused to talk about it
How were they swayed, was someone paid?
A lot of folks don’t doubt it
Abdulaziz was rich, still is
Could well afford a pay off
They’ll watch the jury to see who’ll hurry
To skip town on their day off

True story of course
